Continental Sterling Rococo Style Basket With Engraved Amethyst Glass Liner

About the Item

Continental Sterling Rococo Style Basket with Engraved Amethyst Glass Liner Austrian or German, circa 1890s A magnificent Continental sterling silver Rococo-style basket, made in either Austrian or German origin circa the 1890s. This piece exemplifies the exuberance of late 19th-century silver craftsmanship, adorned with continuous pierced and repoussé foliate ornamentation throughout its swing handle and body. The highlight of this basket is its engraved amethyst glass liner, measuring 4.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height. While it may be a replacement, the liner is of the period and complements the basket beautifully. The basket itself weighs 5.7 ounces and is a testament to the intricate detailing and luxurious aesthetic typical of Rococo design. Ideal for collectors of antique silver or those with a penchant for gorgeous tableware, this piece combines elegance with functionality. Whether displayed as a standalone decorative item or used practically for serving, it adds a touch of sophistication and historical charm to any setting. This Continental sterling silver Rococo-style basket with its amethyst glass liner not only represents the craftsmanship of its time but also offers a glimpse into the opulence and artistic sensibilities of late 19th-century Europe.
